Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.3P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The working of barometer and whether the column of mercury in a barometer is shorter when it is present on top of the mountain or at sea level should be explained.
Concept Introduction:
An instrument or a device which is used to measure the atmospheric pressure is known as barometer. In another language, barometer is used to measure the pressure of air because it varies with the distance either above or below the level of sea. Barometer is of two types that are Mercury barometer and Aneroid barometer. The most commonly used barometer is mercury barometer.
